TOROO Pavilion, by Kristof Crolla and Garvin Goepel
Set within a Mixed Reality (MR) context, the AA Visiting School São Paulo 2022 will utilize Augmented Reality (AR) technology to develop complex geometries constructed from bamboo. This year, the design and fabrication of these parametric structures will be led by architects Kristof Crolla and Garvin Goepel, employing both analog and digital techniques. Projects will be developed using Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Kangaroo, and Karamba, and constructed with the aid of Fologram, holographic devices (Microsoft HoloLenses), and smartphones.

The early 20th century in Mexico was marked by a series of social, cultural, and political transformations. European neoclassical artistic influences began to be heavily questioned, and muralism—adopted by the government as a strategy to educate the Mexican people—began to incorporate new narratives, including indigenous and ancestral cultures, while celebrating the revolutionary process. Collaborative practices between artists and architects intensified during this period. This course seeks to explore and discuss the intersections between art and architecture from 1910 to 1979, based on the work of key figures from this era: Juan O'Gorman and Diego Rivera (1920s–1930s); Mario Pani and Carlos Mérida (the construction of the University City and plastic integration in the 1940s–1950s); Luis Barragán and Mathias Goeritz (1940s–1950s); and Pedro Ramírez Vázquez and La Ruta de la Amistad (1968), concluding with the Espacio Escultórico (1979).
The online launch debate will be held on April 8th

The skin sees, the eye thinks. Space—and therefore place—is perceived through all the senses. What influences this perception? How can the senses be stimulated to think and, in doing so, open new perspectives of perception? We aim to experience, capture, and understand this mutual influence in an experimental, playful, and unique way: a sensitive representation of the history of Presidente Prudente: THE THINKING SENSES.

RUÍNA MATERIAIS Opening + Launch of the 2022 Material Reuse Catalog
The RUÍNA Materiais Catalog is an initiative that aims to rethink construction and demolition materials through the lens of REUSE. By selecting materials ready for reintroduction into projects, construction sites, or directly into homes, workplaces, and beyond, RUÍNA seeks to encourage circular production chains, helping to reduce the volume of demolition waste while providing quality materials with minimal environmental impact. We seek partnerships with initiatives involved in the disposal, dismantling, or demolition of spaces, as well as with producers who have surplus materials without a designated use.
